    It is with such deep sorrow that we say goodbye to Kathy. Though she was in the class behind us, our Class of ’65 was richer and happier when she and Terry married and they both made special the events of the Class of ’65. So many lives were made better and brighter for having had Kathy in them. Sending comfort and sympathy to Terry, to her children, her grandchildren, and to all those whose lives were touched by this very special lady. RIP dear Kathy – you will remain in our hearts forever.

    Our deepest sympathy to Terry and the rest of Kathy’s family. Such a sweet, caring person. Several years ago when my mother was near the end of her life, Kathy was one of her visiting caregivers. She took such good care of my mother and Mum thought the world of Kathy. It takes a very special person to do what she did and her patients were blessed to have her in their lives.
